The requirement took effect May 1, 2025, but HHS has stayed quiet on enforcement, so its practical protection is uncertain while it stays on the books. 45 C.F.R. § 92.210 (89 Fed. Reg. 37522) prohibits discrimination via patient care decision support tools (including AI/clinical algorithms) and requires covered entities to make reasonable efforts to identify and mitigate discriminatory tool use; HHS OCR has issued non-enforcement signals regarding § 92.210(b)–(c). --- ## AI Fraud Accountability Act - **ID**: us-ai-fraud-accountability-hr7786-119 - **Jurisdiction**: United States (federal) - **Status**: proposed - **Strength**: proposed - **Last verified**: 2026-06-11 - **Topics**: consumer-protection, deepfakes, privacy - **Enforcement agency**: FTC (civil); DOJ (criminal) - **Penalties**: Mail/wire fraud: up to $1–2 million fines; up to 20–30 years imprisonment when AI tools used in commission - **Citation**: H.R.7786, 119th Congress (2025–2026) - **Source**: https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/7786 - **Confidence**: proposed-pending House companion to S.3982; criminalizes the use of realistic digital impersonation tools in interstate or foreign communications with fraudulent intent. Includes extraterritorial jurisdiction to reach foreign-based AI scam operations that frequently target American seniors. Buchanan's press release explicitly stated that the bill responds to 'a disturbing rise in AI-generated voice clones' used to defraud families including older adults. Amends Communications Act to prohibit digital impersonation fraud in interstate commerce; grants FTC civil authority; establishes extraterritorial criminal jurisdiction; directs NIST/FTC/DOJ working group. --- ## AI Fraud Accountability Act of 2026 - **ID**: us-ai-fraud-accountability-s3982-119 - **Jurisdiction**: United States (federal) - **Status**: proposed - **Strength**: proposed - **Last verified**: 2026-06-11 - **Topics**: consumer-protection, deepfakes, privacy - **Enforcement agency**: FTC (civil); DOJ (criminal) - **Penalties**: Mail/wire fraud: up to $1–2 million fines; up to 20–30 years imprisonment when AI tools used in commission - **Citation**: S.3982, 119th Congress (2025–2026) - **Source**: https://www.bluntrochester.senate.gov/news/press-releases/news-senators-blunt-rochester-and-sheehy-introduce-ai-fraud-accountability-act/ - **Confidence**: proposed-pending Amends the Communications Act of 1934 to create a new criminal offense for using a realistic digital impersonation in interstate or foreign communications with intent to defraud a person of money or things of value. Establishes extraterritorial jurisdiction — critical because many AI scam operations targeting American seniors originate overseas. Empowers the FTC with civil enforcement authority and directs NIST to develop best practices. Explicitly endorsed by AARP and the 60 Plus Association because of the devastating toll on seniors. Amends Communications Act to criminalize digital impersonation fraud; grants FTC civil enforcement authority; provides extraterritorial criminal jurisdiction; directs NIST/DOJ/FTC working group on best practices. --- ## AI Fraud Deterrence Act - **ID**: us-ai-fraud-deterrence-hr6306-119 - **Jurisdiction**: United States (federal) - **Status**: proposed - **Strength**: proposed - **Last verified**: 2026-06-11 - **Topics**: consumer-protection, deepfakes - **Enforcement agency**: DOJ / U.S. Attorneys - **Private right of action**: no - **Penalties**: Mail/wire fraud: up to $1–2 million fines; up to 20–30 years imprisonment when AI tools used in commission - **Citation**: H.R.6306, 119th Congress (2025–2026) - **Source**: https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/6306 - **Confidence**: proposed-pending Amends federal mail fraud, wire fraud, bank fraud, and money laundering statutes to impose significantly higher maximum penalties when AI tools are used to commit those offenses. Proposed fines range from $1–2 million and maximum prison terms of 20–30 years for AI-assisted fraud. Rep. Lieu's press release specifically cited scammers using AI voice cloning to target seniors as the primary motivation. Seniors are not individually named in the bill text but are the explicit focus of the sponsors' public advocacy. Amends federal fraud and money laundering statutes to add enhanced maximum penalties — up to $1–2 million fines and 20–30 year imprisonment — for offenses committed using AI-assisted tools. --- ## AI in Government Act of 2020 (Pub.

One of three enacted pre-2024 federal AI statutes — foundational federal procurement and workforce architecture. AI in Government Act of 2020, Pub. L. No. 116-260, Div. U, Title I, §104, 134 Stat. 2286 (Dec. 27, 2020), codified at 40 U.S.C. §11301 note — (1) established the AI Center of Excellence within GSA's Technology Transformation Services to advise agencies on AI procurement and adoption, (2) directed OMB to issue federal AI use guidance addressing risk, civil rights, and transparency, (3) directed OPM to identify AI competencies, create or update an AI occupational series, estimate AI workforce needs, and produce 2- and 5-year forecasts. --- ## Algorithmic Accountability Act of 2019 (H.R. 2231 / S. 1108) — DIED - **ID**: us-hr-2231-algo-accountability-2019 - **Jurisdiction**: United States (federal) - **Status**: expired - **Strength**: unknown - **Last verified**: 2026-06-17 - **Topics**: automated-decisions, consumer-protection, transparency - **Enforcement agency**: Would have been FTC - **Private right of action**: no - **Citation**: H.R. 2231 / S. 1108, 116th Cong. (2019) — died in committee - **Source**: https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/2231 - **Confidence**: historical Sens. Wyden and Booker and Rep. Clarke introduced the first federal Algorithmic Accountability Act on April 10, 2019. It would have empowered the FTC to require large companies to assess and address bias, discrimination, and privacy risks in 'automated decision systems.' Never received a committee vote — but it set the template for every subsequent federal and state algorithmic-accountability bill. H.R. 2231 / S. 1108 (116th Cong., 2019) — would have directed the FTC to issue rules requiring 'covered entities' meeting size/data thresholds to conduct automated decision system impact assessments and data protection impact assessments for 'high-risk' systems; addressed accuracy, fairness, bias, discrimination, privacy, and security. Referred to House Energy & Commerce and Senate Commerce committees; no further action. --- ## Algorithmic Accountability Act of 2022 (S. 3572 / H.R. 6580) — DIED - **ID**: us-s-3572-algo-accountability-2022 - **Jurisdiction**: United States (federal) - **Status**: expired - **Strength**: unknown - **Last verified**: 2026-06-17 - **Topics**: automated-decisions, consumer-protection, transparency - **Enforcement agency**: Would have been FTC + state AGs - **Private right of action**: no - **Citation**: S. 3572 / H.R. 6580, 117th Cong.

Clarke reintroduced an expanded Algorithmic Accountability Act on Feb. 3, 2022. It would have required impact assessments for 'augmented critical decision processes' across employment, housing, credit, education, and healthcare. Died in committee but became the most-cited federal AI bill of the 117th Congress. S. 3572 / H.R. 6580 (117th Cong., 2022) — would have required impact assessments for automated decision systems and augmented critical decision processes used in 'critical decisions' (housing, employment, education, healthcare, financial services, public utilities, family planning, criminal justice). Directed FTC to issue regulations and maintain a public repository of impact assessment summaries. Referred to Senate Commerce and House Energy & Commerce; no markup. --- ## Algorithmic Accountability Act of 2023 (S. 2892 / H.R. 5628) — DIED - **ID**: us-s-2892-algo-accountability-2023 - **Jurisdiction**: United States (federal) - **Status**: expired - **Strength**: unknown - **Last verified**: 2026-06-17 - **Topics**: automated-decisions, consumer-protection, transparency - **Enforcement agency**: Would have been FTC + state AGs - **Private right of action**: no - **Citation**: S. 2892 / H.R. 5628, 118th Cong. (2023) — died in committee - **Source**: https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/senate-bill/2892 - **Confidence**: historical The third iteration of the Algorithmic Accountability Act, reintroduced on Sept. 21, 2023 with refined definitions and FTC rulemaking authority. Like its predecessors it never received committee action — but it remains the leading federal ADS-impact-assessment template. S. 2892 / H.R. 5628 (118th Cong., 2023) — refined the 2022 version with narrower covered-entity thresholds and clearer impact-assessment requirements for augmented critical decision processes. Referred to Senate Commerce / House Energy & Commerce; never marked up. Provisions later folded into APRA discussion draft (2024). --- ## Algorithmic Justice and Online Platform Transparency Act (S. 2134 / H.R. 3611, 2021) — DIED - **ID**: us-s-2134-algo-justice-2021 - **Jurisdiction**: United States (federal) - **Status**: expired - **Strength**: unknown - **Last verified**: 2026-06-17 - **Topics**: automated-decisions, transparency, consumer-protection - **Enforcement agency**: Would have been FTC + state AGs - **Private right of action**: no - **Citation**: S. 2134 / H.R. 3611, 117th Cong. (2021) — died in committee - **Source**: https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/senate-bill/2134 - **Confidence**: historical Sen. Markey and Rep. Matsui's May 2021 bill would have banned discriminatory algorithmic processes on online platforms, required plain-language algorithm disclosure to users, and created a cross-agency task force on algorithmic discrimination. Died in committee but became a citation anchor for later FTC trade-rule petitions. S. 2134 / H.R. 3611 (117th Cong., 2021) — would have (1) prohibited algorithmic processes that discriminate based on protected characteristics, (2) required online platforms to describe content-amplification and content-moderation algorithms in plain language, (3) required platforms to maintain detailed algorithm records for FTC review, and (4) created an interagency task force studying algorithmic discrimination in education, healthcare, housing, and financial services.

It was pulled from House markup in June 2024 — the last serious federal ADMT framework before the current 2026 federal drafts. APRA discussion draft (Rodgers/Cantwell, April 2024) — proposed federal comprehensive privacy law with covered-algorithm impact assessment requirements, opt-out for consequential decisions, and pre-deployment evaluation. Pulled from June 27, 2024 markup; never formally introduced as bill. --- ## Artificial Intelligence Scam Prevention Act - **ID**: us-ai-scam-prevention-s3495-119 - **Jurisdiction**: United States (federal) - **Status**: proposed - **Strength**: proposed - **Last verified**: 2026-06-11 - **Topics**: consumer-protection, deepfakes, privacy - **Enforcement agency**: FTC; interagency advisory committee on scam prevention - **Penalties**: Imprisonment; fines; forfeiture of proceeds (see bill text for specific maxima) - **Citation**: S.3495, 119th Congress (2025–2026) - **Source**: https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/senate-bill/3495 - **Confidence**: proposed-pending Prohibits using artificial intelligence to impersonate any person — family member, government official, or business — with intent to defraud. Codifies and expands the FTC's existing rule against impersonating government or business officials and updates definitions to include text messages, video conference calls, and AI-generated or prerecorded voice. Sen. Klobuchar's press release explicitly cited grandparent scams where criminals clone a grandchild's voice to defraud elderly relatives as a primary motivation. Amends federal fraud statutes to prohibit AI-assisted impersonation of any person with fraudulent intent; updates FTC impersonation rule definitions; establishes an interagency advisory committee on scam prevention enforcement. --- ## Artificial Intelligence Training for the Acquisition Workforce Act (AI Training Act, P.L. 117-207) - **ID**: us-ai-training-act-2022 - **Jurisdiction**: United States (federal) - **Status**: effective - **Strength**: limited - **Effective date**: 2022-10-17 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-17 - **Topics**: public-sector - **Enforcement agency**: Office of Management and Budget - **Private right of action**: no - **Citation**: Pub.

A narrow but enacted federal AI statute — one of only three AI-specific bills passed by Congress before 2024 (alongside the AI in Government Act and National AI Initiative Act). Pub. L. No. 117-207, 136 Stat. 2253 (Oct. 17, 2022), originating as S. 2551 (117th Cong.) — directs OMB, in consultation with GSA, to establish an AI training program for federal acquisition workforce personnel (contracting officers, COR-equivalents, procurement officials).

Program must be updated regularly. --- ## Bot Disclosure and Accountability Act of 2018 (S. 3127) — DIED - **ID**: us-s-3127-bot-disclosure-2018 - **Jurisdiction**: United States (federal) - **Status**: expired - **Strength**: unknown - **Last verified**: 2026-06-17 - **Topics**: transparency, elections, deepfakes - **Enforcement agency**: Would have been FTC + FEC - **Private right of action**: no - **Citation**: S. 3127, 115th Cong. (2018) — died in committee - **Source**: https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/senate-bill/3127 - **Confidence**: historical Sen. Dianne Feinstein's June 2018 bill would have required social media platforms to mandate disclosure of automated bots and would have banned political campaigns from using bots in disguised political ads. The first federal bot-disclosure proposal — never received committee action but inspired CA SB 1001 (2018, enacted) and NJ Bot Disclosure Act (2019, enacted). S. 3127 (115th Cong., 2018) — would have (1) directed FTC to require social media providers to implement automated-bot disclosure rules, and (2) amended the Federal Election Campaign Act to bar candidates, campaigns, and political organizations from using bots to disguise online political advertising or deceive voters.

They must provide specific, accurate reasons under ECOA — even if the AI's decision is hard to explain. CFPB Circular 2023-03 reinforces ECOA / Reg B requirements that adverse-action notices accurately describe the principal reason(s) for denial; checklist forms that don't fit AI/ML models are insufficient. Creditors must trace specific factors from complex models to the borrower-facing reasons. --- ## CFPB Circular 2024-05 — Improper Overdraft and AI Chatbot Practices - **ID**: us-cfpb-circular-2024-05-genai-chatbot - **Jurisdiction**: United States (federal) - **Status**: effective - **Strength**: moderate - **Effective date**: 2024-10-23 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-17 - **Topics**: consumer-protection, automated-decisions, housing-credit - **Enforcement agency**: Consumer Financial Protection Bureau; state AGs (parallel UDAP authority) - **Private right of action**: no - **Penalties**: CFPA civil money penalties (tiered up to ~$1.36M/day for knowing violations), restitution, injunctive relief - **Citation**: CFPB Issue Spotlight (June 2023); CFPB UDAAP / ECOA / TILA enforcement posture (2024) - **Source**: https://www.consumerfinance.gov/data-research/research-reports/chatbots-in-consumer-finance/ - **Confidence**: verified-official Building on its 2023 chatbot report, the CFPB has warned that banks and lenders using generative-AI chatbots that mislead consumers — about fees, account terms, or credit denials — face liability under the Consumer Financial Protection Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, and the Truth in Lending Act. Hallucinating chatbots are not a regulatory loophole. CFPB Issue Spotlight 'Chatbots in Consumer Finance' (June 2023) and follow-on Circular guidance treat AI/chatbot misstatements as UDAAPs under 12 U.S.C. § 5536, ECOA adverse-action obligations under 15 U.S.C. § 1691, and TILA disclosure rules. CFPB has investigated several large banks' AI chatbot deployments. --- ## CFTC Customer Advisory — AI Won't Turn Trading Bots into Money Machines - **ID**: us-cftc-ai-fraud-customer-advisory-2024 - **Jurisdiction**: United States (federal) - **Status**: effective - **Strength**: limited - **Effective date**: 2024-01-25 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-17 - **Topics**: consumer-protection, transparency, automated-decisions - **Enforcement agency**: Commodity Futures Trading Commission - **Private right of action**: no - **Penalties**: Civil monetary penalties, restitution, trading bans under the Commodity Exchange Act - **Citation**: CFTC OCEO Customer Advisory (Jan. 25, 2024) - **Source**: https://www.cftc.gov/LearnAndProtect/AdvisoriesAndArticles/AI_Wont_Turn_Trading_Bot_into_Money_Machine.html - **Confidence**: verified-official The Commodity Futures Trading Commission warned consumers about AI-related investment scams — fraudsters promising guaranteed returns from AI trading bots, AI-generated celebrity endorsements, and AI-themed pump-and-dump schemes in crypto and forex markets. The advisory laid the groundwork for CFTC enforcement against AI-touted commodity fraud. CFTC Office of Customer Education and Outreach advisory dated Jan. 25, 2024 warns about fraud schemes promoting AI/algorithmic trading bots in commodities, derivatives, and digital assets. CFTC followed with enforcement against AI-touted forex/crypto pools (e.g., Mosaic Exchange Limited LLC, June 2024) under Commodity Exchange Act §§ 4b, 4o. --- ## Children's Online Privacy Protection Act and 2025 Amended COPPA Rule - **ID**: us-coppa-amended-rule-2025 - **Jurisdiction**: United States (federal) - **Status**: effective - **Strength**: strong - **Effective date**: 2025-06-23 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-10 - **Topics**: children, privacy, biometrics, data-retention, consumer-protection, transparency - **Enforcement agency**: Federal Trade Commission; state attorneys general - **Private right of action**: no - **Penalties**: Civil penalties (currently $53,088 per violation) - **Citation**: 15 U.S.C. §§ 6501–6506; 16 C.F.R.

The 2025 rule update — fully in effect since April 22, 2026 — adds biometric identifiers (like face templates and voiceprints, which matter for AI tools), requires separate parental consent before sharing children's data for targeted advertising, and tightens data retention limits. 15 U.S.C. §§ 6501–6506 and the amended COPPA Rule (16 C.F.R. Part 312, effective June 23, 2025, full compliance Apr. 22, 2026) require verifiable parental consent, expand 'personal information' to include biometric identifiers, mandate separate consent for third-party disclosures for targeted advertising, and impose data retention and security requirements. --- ## DEFIANCE Act (civil remedy for sexually explicit deepfakes) — NOT YET LAW - **ID**: us-defiance-act - **Jurisdiction**: United States (federal) - **Status**: proposed - **Strength**: proposed - **Last verified**: 2026-06-12 - **Topics**: deepfakes, ncii, ai-images, privacy - **Enforcement agency**: Federal courts via private civil suits (no agency enforcer) - **Private right of action**: yes - **Penalties**: Proposed liquidated damages of at least $150,000, up to $250,000 in certain cases, plus costs and fees - **Citation**: S. 1837, 119th Cong.

The law sets property rights rather than prohibitions, so it does not impose penalties. Act 927 of 2025 (HB1876) amends Arkansas Code Title 18, Chapter 4, to assign default ownership of generative AI output to the input provider, ownership of trained models to the lawful provider of training data, and ownership to employers where employees are directed to use such tools. --- # AZ ## Appropriation;

The disclosure follows specific formatting rules depending on whether the ad is print, audio, or video. The state campaign-finance regulator can enforce it, with penalties up to $5,000 per violation. Amends the Political Reform Act of 1974 to define a 'qualified political advertisement' to include one containing AI-generated or substantially-AI-altered media, and requires the committee that creates, publishes, or distributes it to include a specified AI disclosure with medium-specific formatting; the Fair Political Practices Commission may enforce via injunctive relief and other remedies. --- ## California AB 2602 (2024) — Contracts Authorizing Digital Replicas of Voice or Likeness - **ID**: ca-ab2602-digital-replica-voice-likeness - **Jurisdiction**: California (state) - **State**: CA - **Status**: effective - **Strength**: moderate - **Effective date**: 2025-01-01 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-16 - **Topics**: deepfakes, employment - **Enforcement agency**: California courts (raised as a defense in private contract disputes). - **Penalties**: No fine or administrative penalty; the noncompliant contract provision is unenforceable. - **Citation**: Cal.

If a contract lets someone create or use a digital replica of you for a new performance, that clause cannot be enforced when it fails to reasonably describe how the replica will be used and you did not have a lawyer or union representing you when you signed. Cal. Civ. Code 1745.5 renders unenforceable a contract provision permitting creation or use of a digital replica of an individual's voice or visual likeness for a new performance if it lacks a reasonably specific description of intended uses and the individual was neither represented by legal counsel nor by a labor union. --- ## California AB 2655 (2024) — Defending Democracy from Deepfake Deception Act - **ID**: ca-ab2655-defending-democracy-deepfake-deception-act - **Jurisdiction**: California (state) - **State**: CA - **Status**: effective - **Strength**: limited - **Effective date**: 2025-01-01 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-16 - **Topics**: deepfakes, elections - **Enforcement agency**: California Attorney General, district attorneys, and city attorneys (with private injunctive standing for candidates/officials). - **Private right of action**: yes - **Penalties**: Injunctive and other equitable relief; no statutory monetary penalty specified.

They must also give California residents a way to report content that was not handled. The Attorney General, district attorneys, city attorneys, and affected candidates or election officials can go to court to force compliance. Adds Cal. Elec. Code 20510 et seq. Applies to a large online platform with at least 1,000,000 California users; requires blocking materially deceptive election content from 120 days before through election day (with extensions for elections-official content) and labeling from six months before through election day, plus a California-resident reporting mechanism; candidates, officials, the AG, DAs, and city attorneys may seek injunctive relief, proven by clear and convincing evidence. --- ## California AB 3030 (2024) — Health Care Services: Artificial Intelligence - **ID**: ca-ab3030-genai-patient-communications-disclaimer - **Jurisdiction**: California (state) - **State**: CA - **Status**: effective - **Strength**: limited - **Effective date**: 2025-01-01 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-16 - **Topics**: healthcare, transparency - **Enforcement agency**: Applicable licensing/regulatory authorities (e.g., California Department of Public Health, Medical Board of California). - **Private right of action**: no - **Penalties**: Enforced through existing facility/provider licensing authority; no new standalone penalty. - **Citation**: Cal.

The rule does not apply when a licensed provider reads and reviews the AI-generated message before it goes out. Adds Cal. Health & Safety Code 1339.75. A health facility, clinic, physician's office, or group-practice office that uses generative AI to produce written or verbal patient communications about clinical information must include a disclaimer disclosing the AI use and instructions for contacting a human provider; the requirement does not apply when the communication is read and reviewed by a licensed/certified provider. --- ## California AB 316 (2025) — No 'Autonomous AI' Defense in Civil Liability Actions - **ID**: ca-ab316-ai-liability-civil-actions - **Jurisdiction**: California (state) - **State**: CA - **Status**: effective - **Strength**: limited - **Effective date**: 2026-01-01 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-16 - **Topics**: consumer-protection - **Enforcement agency**: California courts (the rule applies within private civil litigation). - **Penalties**: No standalone penalty; it is a liability rule removing a specific defense. - **Citation**: Cal.

If someone develops, modifies, or uses an AI system that causes harm, they cannot escape liability by arguing that the AI acted autonomously or on its own. AB 316 adds Cal. Civ. Code 1714.46, providing that in a civil action against a defendant who developed, modified, or used AI that allegedly caused harm, the defendant may not assert as a defense that the AI autonomously caused the harm. --- ## California AB 325 (2025) — Cartwright Act Amendment on Common Pricing Algorithms - **ID**: ca-ab325-cartwright-pricing-algorithm - **Jurisdiction**: California (state) - **State**: CA - **Status**: effective - **Strength**: limited - **Effective date**: 2026-01-01 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-16 - **Topics**: automated-decisions, consumer-protection - **Enforcement agency**: California Attorney General and district attorneys (Cartwright Act enforcement), plus private litigants. - **Private right of action**: yes - **Penalties**: Cartwright Act penalties — corporate criminal fines up to $6 million per violation (ceiling raised by companion bill SB 763) or twice the gross gain or loss, plus civil remedies. - **Citation**: AB 325 (2025), amending the Cartwright Act (Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code 16700 et seq.) - **Source**: https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202520260AB325 - **Confidence**: verified-official This law amends California's main antitrust statute, the Cartwright Act, to address algorithmic price-fixing. It makes it unlawful to use or distribute a common pricing algorithm — a methodology that uses competitor data to recommend, align, stabilize, set, or influence a price or term — as part of an agreement or conspiracy to restrain trade, or to coerce another party into adopting a recommended price. It also makes it easier to bring antitrust conspiracy claims. AB 325 amends the Cartwright Act to prohibit using or distributing a common pricing algorithm (a methodology using competitor data to recommend/align/stabilize/set/influence a price or term) as part of a contract, combination, or conspiracy in restraint of trade, or coercing another to adopt a recommended price, and lowers the antitrust-conspiracy pleading standard. --- ## California AB 489 (2025) — Prohibition on AI Implying Licensed Health Care Status - **ID**: ca-ab489-health-advice-from-ai - **Jurisdiction**: California (state) - **State**: CA - **Status**: effective - **Strength**: limited - **Effective date**: 2026-01-01 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-16 - **Topics**: healthcare, consumer-protection - **Enforcement agency**: The relevant California health care licensing boards (under the Department of Consumer Affairs). - **Penalties**: Enforced by the applicable health care licensing boards using their existing authority over unlawful use of professional titles and unlicensed practice. - **Citation**: Cal.

AI systems and the companies behind them cannot use titles, letters, or terms that falsely suggest the AI holds a health care license or that its services come from a licensed human professional. It extends an existing ban on impersonating licensed health professionals so that it clearly covers AI providers. AB 489 adds Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code 4999.9, extending prohibitions on the unauthorized use of titles/terms implying a health care license or licensed-professional care to developers and deployers of AI technology, so AI-generated communications may not falsely indicate licensure. --- ## California AB 723 (2025) — Disclosure of Digitally Altered Images in Real Estate Advertising - **ID**: ca-ab723-real-estate-altered-images - **Jurisdiction**: California (state) - **State**: CA - **Status**: effective - **Strength**: limited - **Effective date**: 2026-01-01 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-16 - **Topics**: consumer-protection, ai-images - **Enforcement agency**: California Department of Real Estate (DRE). - **Penalties**: Subject to disciplinary action under the Real Estate Law, including possible suspension or revocation of the license. - **Citation**: Cal.

A real estate licensee who uses a digitally altered image (including AI-altered images) in advertising to sell real property must disclose that the image was altered and provide a link, URL, or QR code to the original unaltered image. Routine adjustments like lighting, cropping, and color correction are excluded. AB 723 adds Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code 10140.8, requiring a real estate licensee who includes a digitally altered image (including AI-altered) in advertising for the sale of real property to disclose the alteration and provide a link/URL/QR code to the original unaltered image; routine lighting/cropping/color correction is excluded. --- ## California AB 856 — Drone Paparazzi / Aerial Trespass - **ID**: ca-ab-856-paparazzi-drone - **Jurisdiction**: California (state) - **State**: CA - **Status**: effective - **Strength**: limited - **Effective date**: 2016-01-01 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-17 - **Topics**: privacy, consumer-protection - **Enforcement agency**: Private civil enforcement (tort claims) - **Private right of action**: yes - **Penalties**: Statutory damages up to three times actual damages; punitive damages; disgorgement of profits - **Citation**: Cal.

This law adds that the introduction must also tell the person if the prerecorded message uses an artificial voice, meaning a voice generated or significantly altered using AI. The point is to keep people from being deceived by synthetic voices in automated calls. AB 2905 amended Cal. Pub. Util. Code 2874 to require that the natural-voice announcement preceding an automatic dialing-announcing device's prerecorded message disclose whether the message uses an 'artificial voice,' defined as a voice generated or significantly altered using AI. --- ## California AI Transparency Act (SB 942, as amended by AB 853) - **ID**: ca-sb-942 - **Jurisdiction**: California (state) - **State**: CA - **Status**: enacted - **Strength**: limited - **Effective date**: 2026-08-02 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-10 - **Topics**: transparency, ai-images, deepfakes, consumer-protection - **Enforcement agency**: California Attorney General, city attorneys, county counsels - **Private right of action**: no - **Penalties**: $5,000 per violation per day, plus attorney's fees and costs - **Citation**: Cal.

There is a safe harbor: there is no liability as long as the operator clearly and conspicuously discloses that a bot is in use. In practice it is a disclosure mandate rather than a ban on automated accounts. SB 1001 added Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code 17940-17943, making it unlawful (17941) to use a bot to interact online with a person in California with intent to mislead about its artificial identity to incentivize a commercial transaction or influence an election vote, absent a clear and conspicuous disclosure that a bot is in use. --- ## California Civil Action for Sexually Explicit Digital Depictions (AB 602) - **ID**: ca-ab-602-deepfake-porn - **Jurisdiction**: California (state) - **State**: CA - **Status**: effective - **Strength**: limited - **Effective date**: 2020-01-01 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-10 - **Topics**: ncii, deepfakes, ai-images, privacy - **Enforcement agency**: Courts (civil actions); district attorneys (criminal provisions) - **Private right of action**: yes - **Penalties**: Economic/noneconomic damages or statutory damages ($1,500–$30,000; up to $150,000 for malice), punitive damages, attorney's fees; criminal misdemeanor penalties under Penal Code - **Citation**: Cal.

Employers cannot use AI or algorithmic tools that discriminate against people based on protected characteristics such as race, sex, age, or disability, and must keep records related to these systems for at least four years. Adopted by the California Civil Rights Council under the Fair Employment and Housing Act (Cal. Gov. Code 12940 et seq.), the regulations confirm FEHA's discrimination prohibition extends to automated-decision systems (including AI) and impose a four-year retention requirement for ADS-related employment records. --- ## California Consumer Privacy Act (CPRA) and CPPA Automated Decision-Making Technology Regulations - **ID**: ca-ccpa-cpra-admt - **Jurisdiction**: California (state) - **State**: CA - **Status**: effective - **Strength**: strong - **Effective date**: 2026-01-01 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-10 - **Topics**: privacy, automated-decisions, transparency, consumer-protection, employment, data-retention - **Enforcement agency**: California Privacy Protection Agency; California Attorney General - **Private right of action**: no - **Penalties**: Up to $2,500 per violation, $7,500 per intentional violation or violations involving minors - **Citation**: Cal.

New regulations finalized in 2025 add rights around automated decision-making technology (ADMT): businesses using ADMT for significant decisions (jobs, housing, credit, healthcare) must give pre-use notice, let people opt out, and provide access to how decisions were made. Cal. Civ.

It is now a crime for an adult to intentionally create and distribute a sexually explicit image of an identifiable person made to look authentic, when the distributor knows or should know it will cause that person serious emotional distress and the person in fact suffers that distress. This closes a gap that left realistic AI-generated fakes outside the existing intimate-image law. SB 926 amended Cal. Penal Code 647 (disorderly conduct / intimate-image distribution) to criminalize intentionally creating and distributing a photorealistic, computer-generated, or otherwise digitally created sexually explicit image of an identifiable person, made to appear authentic, where the distributor knows or should know it will cause serious emotional distress and the depicted person suffers that distress. --- ## California Expansion of Child Pornography Laws to AI-Generated Matter (AB 1831) - **ID**: ca-ab-1831-csam-ai - **Jurisdiction**: California (state) - **State**: CA - **Status**: effective - **Strength**: limited - **Effective date**: 2025-01-01 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-16 - **Topics**: children, ai-images - **Enforcement agency**: Local district attorneys and California prosecutors (criminal enforcement). - **Private right of action**: no - **Penalties**: Subject to the existing criminal penalties under the amended child-pornography statutes, including felony exposure. - **Citation**: Cal.

Previously the laws were aimed at depictions made with real children, leaving questions about synthetic imagery. Now matter whose production involves a person under 18, including AI-generated or digitally altered content, falls within the prohibited categories and existing felony exposure. AB 1831 amended Cal. Penal Code 311, 311.2, 311.11, and 311.12 to bring within prohibited matter any digitally altered or artificial-intelligence-generated matter, the production of which involves the use of a person under 18, extending California's child-pornography offenses to synthetic and altered imagery. --- ## California Government Automated Decision System Inventory (AB 302) - **ID**: ca-ab-302-adt-inventory - **Jurisdiction**: California (state) - **State**: CA - **Status**: effective - **Strength**: limited - **Effective date**: 2024-01-01 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-16 - **Topics**: public-sector, automated-decisions - **Enforcement agency**: California Department of Technology (reporting to the Legislature); no dedicated enforcement body. - **Private right of action**: no - **Citation**: Cal.

A high-risk system is one that helps make or replaces consequential decisions affecting things like housing, jobs, credit, health care, education, and criminal justice. The Department must report the inventory to the Legislature annually, with the obligation winding down at the start of 2029. AB 302 added Cal. Gov.

Under SB 1120, when a plan uses AI or algorithms in utilization review, a licensed physician or other qualified clinician — not an AI system — must make every medical-necessity determination. AI tools can assist in data analysis, but the final coverage decision must come from a licensed human. Insurers must disclose AI use and make their algorithms available for regulatory audits.

Stat. § 6-1-1701 et seq.; original Feb. 1, 2026 effective date delayed to June 30, 2026 by SB 25B-004 (special session, Aug. 2025), then repealed and replaced by SB 26-189 (2026) prior to taking effect. --- ## Colorado Automated Decision-Making Technology Law (SB 26-189, replacing the Colorado AI Act) - **ID**: co-sb-26-189 - **Jurisdiction**: Colorado (state) - **State**: CO - **Status**: enacted - **Strength**: limited - **Effective date**: 2027-01-01 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-15 - **Topics**: automated-decisions, employment, housing-credit, insurance, healthcare, consumer-protection, transparency - **Enforcement agency**: Colorado Attorney General - **Private right of action**: no - **Penalties**: Enforced under the Colorado Consumer Protection Act (civil penalties) - **Citation**: SB 26-189 (Colo. 2026) - **Source**: https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/sb26-189 - **Confidence**: verified-secondary Colorado's replacement AI law focuses on transparency rather than broad anti-discrimination duties. Starting January 1, 2027, companies using automated decision-making technology to materially influence consequential decisions (employment, housing, lending, insurance, healthcare) must notify consumers before use and provide post-decision disclosures; developers must give deployers technical documentation. SB 26-189 repeals and replaces SB 24-205 with an ADMT framework effective Jan. 1, 2027: developer documentation duties, deployer pre-use notice and post-decision disclosure, with Attorney General rulemaking due by Jan. 1, 2027. --- ## Colorado Privacy Act - **ID**: co-cpa-profiling-6-1-1301 - **Jurisdiction**: Colorado (state) - **State**: CO - **Status**: effective - **Strength**: limited - **Effective date**: 2023-07-01 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-16 - **Topics**: privacy, automated-decisions - **Enforcement agency**: Colorado Attorney General (and district attorneys) - **Private right of action**: no - **Penalties**: Violations are treated as deceptive trade practices under the Colorado Consumer Protection Act, carrying civil penalties of up to $20,000 per violation (with an aggregate cap for a related series of violations). - **Citation**: Colo. Rev. Stat. Sec. 6-1-1301 et seq. (SB 21-190) - **Source**: https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/sb21-190 - **Confidence**: verified-official The Colorado Privacy Act gives state residents the right to opt out of having their personal data used for profiling when that profiling drives decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects, such as decisions about credit, housing, employment, or services. Businesses that engage in higher-risk processing, including certain profiling, must conduct and document a data protection assessment weighing the benefits against the risks. The Colorado Attorney General enforces the law, and since January 1, 2025 may bring actions without first offering a chance to cure. Colo. Rev. Stat. 6-1-1301 et seq. grants consumers a right to opt out of profiling in furtherance of decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects and requires controllers to conduct data protection assessments for processing that presents a heightened risk of harm. --- ## Colorado SB 17-213 — Automated Driving Systems - **ID**: co-sb-17-213-av - **Jurisdiction**: Colorado (state) - **State**: CO - **Status**: effective - **Strength**: moderate - **Effective date**: 2017-06-01 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-17 - **Topics**: public-sector, consumer-protection, automated-decisions - **Enforcement agency**: Colorado Department of Transportation; Colorado State Patrol - **Private right of action**: no - **Penalties**: Traffic and motor-vehicle code penalties - **Citation**: Colo.

The same act creates a civil cause of action allowing a person to sue someone who discloses, or threatens to disclose, a nonconsensual intimate digital depiction (including AI-generated or edited imagery). Courts can grant restraining orders and injunctive relief, and prevailing plaintiffs can recover substantial damages. SB25-288 amends Colorado's child sexual exploitation definitions to include realistic digitized or computer-generated depictions of an identifiable child and establishes a private cause of action for nonconsensual disclosure or threatened disclosure of intimate digital depictions. --- ## Protecting Consumers from Unfair Discrimination in Insurance Practices - **ID**: co-insurance-algorithmic-discrimination-10-3-1104-9 - **Jurisdiction**: Colorado (state) - **State**: CO - **Status**: effective - **Strength**: limited - **Effective date**: 2021-07-06 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-16 - **Topics**: insurance, automated-decisions, consumer-protection - **Enforcement agency**: Colorado Division of Insurance / Commissioner of Insurance - **Private right of action**: no - **Penalties**: Enforced through the Commissioner's general powers under Colo.

The law directs the state Insurance Commissioner to write rules that require insurers to test their data and models and show they do not produce discriminatory outcomes. Insurers must also maintain a risk-management framework to monitor for unfair discrimination. Coverage was later expanded to additional lines such as private passenger auto and health benefit plans. Colo. Rev. Stat. 10-3-1104.9 bars insurers' use of external consumer data sources, algorithms, and predictive models that unfairly discriminate on protected classes, and requires the Commissioner of Insurance to adopt rules establishing how insurers demonstrate their models are tested and non-discriminatory. --- # Connecticut ## An Act Concerning Artificial Intelligence, Automated Decision-Making and Personal Data Privacy (CT SB 1103) - **ID**: ct-sb-1103 - **Jurisdiction**: Connecticut (state) - **State**: CT - **Status**: effective - **Strength**: limited - **Effective date**: 2023-07-01 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-16 - **Topics**: public-sector, automated-decisions - **Enforcement agency**: Connecticut Department of Administrative Services; Office of Policy and Management (administrative oversight) - **Private right of action**: no - **Citation**: 2023 Conn.

It directs the Department of Administrative Services to catalog the AI systems that state agencies use and to assess them for unlawful discrimination and disparate impact. It also establishes an AI officer in the Office of Policy and Management to develop AI policies and procedures that agencies must follow. The law governs public-sector use rather than imposing penalties on private companies. Public Act 23-16 (SB 1103) directs the Department of Administrative Services to inventory state-agency AI systems and assess them for unlawful discrimination or disparate impact, and to establish policies governing agency development and use of automated decision systems; no civil penalties are specified. --- ## Connecticut AI Responsibility and Transparency Act (SB 5, Public Act 26-15) - **ID**: ct-sb-5-cart-act - **Jurisdiction**: Connecticut (state) - **State**: CT - **Status**: enacted - **Strength**: limited - **Effective date**: 2026-10-01 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-10 - **Topics**: automated-decisions, employment, consumer-protection, children, transparency, healthcare, deepfakes - **Enforcement agency**: Connecticut Attorney General (CUTPA); Connecticut Department of Labor (WARN-related provisions) - **Private right of action**: no - **Penalties**: CUTPA remedies and civil penalties; 60-day cure period available through end of 2027 - **Citation**: Conn.

Businesses that profile consumers for high-risk purposes must also run data protection assessments to weigh the risks. Other consumer rights include access, correction, deletion, and opting out of targeted advertising and data sales. The Attorney General enforces the law under Connecticut's unfair trade practices framework, and there is no individual right to sue. Conn. Gen. Stat. Sec. 42-515 et seq. (CTDPA) grants consumers a right to opt out of profiling in furtherance of decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects and requires controllers to conduct data protection assessments for high-risk processing including such profiling; violations are enforced as CUTPA violations. --- ## Connecticut Data Privacy Act Amendment - LLM Training Disclosure (SB 1295) - **ID**: ct-sb-1295 - **Jurisdiction**: Connecticut (state) - **State**: CT - **Status**: enacted - **Strength**: limited - **Effective date**: 2026-07-01 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-16 - **Topics**: transparency, privacy - **Enforcement agency**: Connecticut Attorney General (under the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act) - **Private right of action**: no - **Penalties**: Enforced as a CUTPA violation, with civil penalties of up to $5,000 per willful violation. - **Citation**: 2025 Conn.

Businesses must state in their privacy notice whether they collect, use, or sell personal data to train large language models. The disclosure applies regardless of how the trained model is ultimately used. Like the rest of the privacy act, it is enforced by the Attorney General under Connecticut's consumer protection law. SB 1295 (Public Act 25-153) amends the CTDPA's privacy-notice requirements (Conn. Gen. Stat.

The law also caps price gouging during emergencies: a company cannot charge more than 2.5 times its usual fare in any area covered by a declared disaster emergency. The state transportation commissioner oversees TNC registration and can suspend or revoke it for violations. Operating without a valid registration can draw a substantial fine. Conn. Gen. Stat. Sec. 13b-118 requires transportation network companies that use dynamic pricing to provide pre-request notice, a fare estimator, and a rider confirmation feature, and bars charging more than 2.5 times the usual fare in an area under a disaster emergency declaration; Sec. 13b-117 authorizes registration suspension/revocation and a fine of up to $50,000 for operating without a valid registration. --- # CT ## An Act Addressing Innovations In And The Responsible Use Of Artificial Intelligence.

H.B. 191, 153rd Gen. Assemb. (2025-2026) (amending 24 Del. C.) - **Source**: https://legis.delaware.gov/BillDetail?LegislationId=142752 - **Confidence**: verified-official This law makes clear that artificial intelligence and other nonhuman entities cannot be licensed or certified to practice medicine or nursing in Delaware. It bars AI agents from being licensed as a physician, physician assistant, professional nurse, advanced practice nurse, or practical nurse, and from using the professional titles or abbreviations tied to those roles, such as 'Dr.,' 'MD,' 'RN,' 'APRN,' or 'PA.' The intent is to prevent AI tools from misrepresenting themselves as licensed human clinicians, while still allowing AI to be used as a support tool by licensed professionals. House Bill 191 (153rd General Assembly) amends Title 24 of the Delaware Code to provide that a nonhuman entity, including an AI-powered agent, may not be licensed or certified to practice medicine or any form of nursing and may not use the associated professional titles or abbreviations. --- ## An Act to Amend Title 29 of the Delaware Code Relating to the Artificial Intelligence Commission - **ID**: de-hb-333-ai-commission - **Jurisdiction**: Delaware (state) - **State**: DE - **Status**: effective - **Strength**: limited - **Effective date**: 2024-07-17 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-16 - **Topics**: public-sector, transparency - **Enforcement agency**: Delaware Artificial Intelligence Commission (advisory; coordinates with the state Chief Information Officer and Department of Technology and Information) - **Private right of action**: no - **Citation**: Del.

C. ch. 90C - **Source**: https://legis.delaware.gov/BillDetail?LegislationId=140866 - **Confidence**: verified-official This law creates the Delaware Artificial Intelligence Commission, a state body charged with studying how artificial intelligence is used in Delaware government and recommending policies for its safe and responsible use. One of the Commission's required tasks is to take a full inventory of every generative-AI tool in use across the state's executive, legislative, and judicial agencies and to flag high-risk applications. The Commission issues recommendations but does not itself regulate private companies or impose penalties. It is scheduled to sunset ten years after enactment unless lawmakers extend it. House Bill 333 (152nd General Assembly) amends Title 29, Chapter 90C of the Delaware Code to establish a 17-member Artificial Intelligence Commission and directs it to inventory all generative-AI usage across state executive, legislative, and judicial agencies and identify high-risk areas. --- ## An Act to Amend Titles 10 and 11 of the Delaware Code Relating to Deep Fakes (Amelia Kramer Act) - **ID**: de-hb-353-deepfake-intimate-images - **Jurisdiction**: Delaware (state) - **State**: DE - **Status**: effective - **Strength**: limited - **Effective date**: 2024-10-09 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-16 - **Topics**: ncii, deepfakes - **Enforcement agency**: Delaware courts (civil remedies) and state/local prosecutors (criminal); Delaware Department of Justice - **Private right of action**: yes - **Penalties**: Civil remedies mirror those under Delaware's unauthorized-disclosure-of-intimate-images law; criminal exposure under Title 11 privacy-violation provisions, elevated to a felony where an adult depicts a minor nude or in sexual conduct. - **Citation**: Del.

C.) - **Source**: https://legis.delaware.gov/BillDetail?LegislationId=141103 - **Confidence**: verified-official This law extends Delaware's protections against the non-consensual sharing of intimate images to cover deepfakes — digitally created or altered images that falsely depict an identifiable real person nude or engaged in sexual conduct. Victims can pursue the same civil remedies available for the unauthorized disclosure of real intimate images, and offenders can face criminal charges under the state's privacy-violation laws. When an adult creates a sexual or nude depiction of a minor, the conduct is treated as a felony rather than a misdemeanor. The measure is also known as the Amelia Kramer Act. House Bill 353 (152nd General Assembly) amends Titles 10 and 11 of the Delaware Code to apply the civil remedies of the Uniform Civil Remedies for Unauthorized Disclosure of Intimate Images Act (10 Del. C. ch. 78) and Title 11 privacy-violation offenses to deepfake depictions of identifiable persons. --- ## Delaware Election Deepfake Crime (HB 316, 2024) - **ID**: de-hb316-election-deepfakes - **Jurisdiction**: Delaware (state) - **State**: DE - **Status**: effective - **Strength**: limited - **Effective date**: 2024-10-09 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-12 - **Topics**: deepfakes, elections, ai-images - **Enforcement agency**: Delaware Department of Elections; Delaware Attorney General - **Private right of action**: yes - **Penalties**: Class B misdemeanor → Class E felony (repeats within 5 years) - **Citation**: 2024 DE HB 316; 15 Del.

the amendment removes a defense rather than creating a new penalty. - **Citation**: Ga.

Sec. 16-12-100 - **Source**: https://www.legis.ga.gov/api/legislation/document/20232024/223269 - **Confidence**: verified-official Georgia's child sexual exploitation law was amended so that a defendant cannot escape liability by arguing the illegal imagery was artificially generated, adapted, or modified rather than a photograph of an actual child. If the material was created, adapted, or modified to appear that an identifiable minor is engaged in sexually explicit conduct, that is no defense to prosecution. This closes a potential loophole for AI-generated or computer-edited child sexual abuse material. SB 466 (2023-2024) amended O.C.G.A. 16-12-100 to provide that it is not a defense to sexual exploitation of children that the visual medium was 'created, adapted, or modified to appear that an identifiable minor is engaging in sexually explicit conduct.' --- ## Georgia AI Chatbot Disclosure and Child Safety Act (SB 540) - **ID**: ga-sb-540-chatbot-child-safety - **Jurisdiction**: Georgia (state) - **State**: GA - **Status**: enacted - **Strength**: limited - **Effective date**: 2027-07-01 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-12 - **Topics**: children, consumer-protection, transparency - **Enforcement agency**: Georgia Attorney General - **Private right of action**: no - **Penalties**: Civil penalties up to $10,000 per knowing violation - **Citation**: Ga.

Operators must tell users they're talking to AI, verify ages, give parents controls, and follow crisis protocols (like referring to the 988 lifeline) when users express suicidal thoughts. Chatbots talking to minors can't claim to be sentient, produce sexual content, simulate romance, encourage secrets from adults, or fake distress when a child ends the chat. No carve-out for chatbots inside big platforms. Effective July 1, 2027. SB 540 (2025-2026 Reg.

The fight resumed in the 2026 session with bills to sunset or repeal the exemption, one of which passed the Senate. HB 1192 would have suspended new data center sales/use tax exemption certificates (O.C.G.A. § 48-8-3(68.1)) from July 2024 to June 2026; vetoed May 2024.

Sec. 16-11-90 - **Source**: https://law.justia.com/codes/georgia/title-16/chapter-11/article-3/part-3/section-16-11-90/ - **Confidence**: verified-official Georgia makes it a crime to electronically send or post a nude or sexually explicit image of an identifiable adult without that person's consent when the purpose is to harass or cause financial harm. The statute expressly reaches a 'falsely created' video or still image, meaning synthetic or deepfake depictions are treated the same as real photographs. Posting such material to certain explicit websites is punished more harshly than other electronic transmission. O.C.G.A. 16-11-90 criminalizes the nonconsensual electronic transmission or posting of nude or sexually explicit imagery of an identifiable adult, including a 'falsely created videographic or still image' (the synthetic-image language was inserted in 2020 and the section was carried forward through the 2022 Code revision, 2022 Ga.

Sess.), approved by Governor February 5, 2026, modifies crimes of sexual exploitation of a child, unlawful transmission of visual depictions of a child, and breach of privacy to prohibit acts related to visual depictions in which the person depicted is indistinguishable from a real child, including computer-generated and morphed images. --- ## Kansas HB 2313 (2025) – Prohibition on AI Platforms of Concern on State Devices - **ID**: ks-ai-platforms-concern-hb2313 - **Jurisdiction**: Kansas (state) - **State**: KS - **Status**: effective - **Strength**: limited - **Effective date**: 2025-04-08 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-12 - **Topics**: public-sector - **Enforcement agency**: Kansas state agencies (self-executing); no explicit enforcement body named - **Private right of action**: no - **Penalties**: Not specified in enacted text - **Citation**: 2025 Kan.

HB 2313), approved Apr. 8, 2025 - **Source**: https://sos.ks.gov/publications/sessionlaws/2025/Chapter-84-HB-2313.html - **Confidence**: verified-official Kansas prohibits state employees from using AI platforms controlled by foreign adversary countries — including DeepSeek and any Chinese-owned AI models — on state-issued devices and networks. Agencies must deactivate and delete any existing accounts with such platforms. KS Sub. for HB 2313, Ch. 84, 2025 Sess. Laws, approved Apr. 8, 2025; prohibits use of 'artificial intelligence platforms of concern' (defined to include DeepSeek and AI models controlled by China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, or Venezuela) on state-issued devices and agency networks; effective upon publication in statute book. --- ## Kansas HB 2479 (2026) — AI-Altered Sexual Images Added to Blackmail (K.S.A. 21-5428) - **ID**: ks-hb-2479-ai-blackmail - **Jurisdiction**: Kansas (state) - **State**: KS - **Status**: effective - **Strength**: limited - **Effective date**: 2026-04-09 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-16 - **Topics**: ncii, ai-images - **Enforcement agency**: Kansas county/district attorneys and the Kansas Attorney General (criminal prosecution); Kansas courts. - **Private right of action**: no - **Penalties**: Carries the existing criminal penalties for blackmail under Kansas law; no separate AI-specific penalty tier was created. - **Citation**: 2026 Kan.

It applies whether or not the person was involved in producing any original image, so threatening someone with an AI-generated 'deepfake' of them can be prosecuted as blackmail. Existing criminal penalties for blackmail apply. HB 2479 amended K.S.A. 21-5428 so that blackmail by threatened dissemination reaches any image, video, or recording of a nude or sexually active identifiable person that 'has been created, in whole or in part, altered or modified by artificial intelligence or any digital means to appear to depict or purport to depict' that person. --- ## Kansas HB 2537 (2026) — 'Caleb's Law': AI Images Added to Sexual Extortion (K.S.A. 21-5515) - **ID**: ks-hb-2537-ai-sexual-extortion - **Jurisdiction**: Kansas (state) - **State**: KS - **Status**: effective - **Strength**: limited - **Effective date**: 2026-04-06 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-16 - **Topics**: ncii, ai-images - **Enforcement agency**: Kansas county/district attorneys and the Kansas Attorney General; Kansas courts. - **Private right of action**: no - **Penalties**: Existing sexual-extortion penalties apply to the AI-image expansion; the act separately increases penalties when an adult offender's victim is under 18 or a dependent adult and creates aggravated offenses for conduct causing great bodily harm or death. - **Citation**: 2026 Kan.

This means demands or threats backed by AI-fabricated sexual imagery fall within the crime of sexual extortion. The same act, known as 'Caleb's Law,' also raises penalties when an adult offender targets a victim under 18 or a dependent adult and creates aggravated sexual-extortion offenses. HB 2537 amended K.S.A. 21-5515 so that 'image, video or other recording' includes any item 'created, in whole or in part, altered or modified by artificial intelligence or any digital means to appear to depict or purport to depict a person,' and added enhanced and aggravated sexual-extortion provisions. --- # Kentucky ## Kentucky AI Governance & Election Deepfake Act (SB 4, 2025) - **ID**: ky-sb4-2025-ai-governance-election - **Jurisdiction**: Kentucky (state) - **State**: KY - **Status**: effective - **Strength**: limited - **Effective date**: 2025-03-24 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-12 - **Topics**: deepfakes, elections, transparency, automated-decisions, public-sector - **Enforcement agency**: Commonwealth Office of Technology; civil courts (election deepfakes) - **Private right of action**: yes - **Penalties**: Administrative consequences for agencies; civil action for election deepfakes - **Citation**: 2025 Ky.

July 15, 2024 - **Source**: https://apps.legislature.ky.gov/law/acts/24RS/documents/0015.pdf - **Confidence**: verified-official Kentucky expanded its child sexual abuse material laws to cover 'computer-generated' images, defined as any visual depiction that has been created, adapted, or modified by a computer to appear to be an identifiable person. Because the depiction only has to appear to be a minor, prosecutors do not have to prove the real identity or age of the child, or that the child actually exists, when the material is a computer-generated image. This squarely reaches AI-generated and deepfake child sexual abuse imagery. 2024 Ky. Acts ch. 15 (HB 207) amended KRS 531.010 to define 'computer-generated image' as any visual depiction 'created, adapted, or modified by a computer to appear to be an identifiable person,' and created KRS 531.306 providing that in prosecutions involving a computer-generated image of a minor the Commonwealth need not prove the minor's actual identity, age, or existence. --- # KS ## Allowing hunters who are federally licensed drone operators to use drones to locate wounded or recently deceased deer.

It is illegal to knowingly disclose such media when you know the person did not consent and that the disclosure would cause them serious emotional distress, to disclose it intending to harass or harm the person, or to possess it and threaten to release it to extort money or other things of value. SB 413 (2025) creates the offense of disclosing explicit synthetic media, codified at Title 45, ch. 5, part 6, MCA, covering nonconsensual disclosure, harassment-motivated disclosure, and extortionate threats to disclose sexually explicit 'synthetic media' (deepfakes) of an identifiable individual. --- ## Montana Government Use of Artificial Intelligence Law (HB 178) - **ID**: mt-hb-178-government-ai-use - **Jurisdiction**: Montana (state) - **State**: MT - **Status**: effective - **Strength**: limited - **Effective date**: 2025-10-01 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-16 - **Topics**: public-sector, automated-decisions, facial-recognition - **Enforcement agency**: Not specified in the act; no dedicated enforcement agency or penalty provision is named. - **Citation**: Mont.

Government must disclose AI-produced material that no qualified human reviewed and disclose public-facing AI interfaces. Any AI recommendation or decision that could affect a person's rights, duties, or privileges must be reviewed by a qualified human who can reject or change it. HB 178 (2025), codified in Title 2, MCA, prohibits enumerated government uses of AI systems, requires disclosure of unreviewed AI-generated material and AI public interfaces (with a peace-officer investigative exemption), and requires human review of AI recommendations/decisions affecting rights, duties, or privileges. --- ## Montana Name, Voice, and Visual Likeness Property Right (HB 513) - **ID**: mt-hb-513-name-voice-likeness - **Jurisdiction**: Montana (state) - **State**: MT - **Status**: effective - **Strength**: moderate - **Effective date**: 2026-01-01 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-16 - **Topics**: deepfakes, ai-images - **Enforcement agency**: Civil courts (private enforcement). - **Private right of action**: yes - **Penalties**: Civil liability to the injured person for actual damages suffered plus any profits attributable to the unauthorized use of the individual's name, voice, or visual likeness. - **Citation**: Mont.

The same liability applies to distributing tools whose primary purpose is producing such unauthorized digital depictions. The right lasts 20 years after death, with exceptions for news, commentary, and parody. HB 513 (2025), codified in Title 30, ch. 14, MCA, establishes a property right in name, voice, and visual likeness and imposes civil liability for unauthorized commercial 'digital voice depictions' and 'digital visual depictions' and for distributing tools primarily designed to create them. --- ## Montana Privacy in Communications Amendment (HB 514) - **ID**: mt-hb-514-privacy-communications-deepfake - **Jurisdiction**: Montana (state) - **State**: MT - **Status**: effective - **Strength**: limited - **Effective date**: 2025-10-01 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-16 - **Topics**: ncii, ai-images, deepfakes - **Enforcement agency**: Montana county/state criminal prosecutors (criminal offense). - **Private right of action**: no - **Penalties**: A first offense under the new image provisions is a misdemeanor (up to $500 and/or 6 months).

HB 514 (2025) amends MCA 45-8-213 to add subsections criminalizing nonconsensual disclosure and extortionate possession/threat-to-disclose of real or 'digitally fabricated' sexual imagery of an identifiable person, and adds a definition of 'digitally fabricated.' --- ## Montana SB 212 (2025) – Right to Compute Act - **ID**: mt-sb212-right-to-compute - **Jurisdiction**: Montana (state) - **State**: MT - **Status**: effective - **Strength**: limited - **Effective date**: 2025-04-17 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-12 - **Topics**: public-sector - **Enforcement agency**: Courts (constitutional challenge mechanism) - **Penalties**: Not applicable — creates a right rather than a restriction - **Citation**: Mont.

The law also makes it a crime to use someone's private sexual image, including an AI-generated one, as leverage: threatening to release such an image, or refusing to delete one already released, in order to pressure a person is treated as sexual extortion. It likewise extends the ban on sharing intimate images without consent to AI-generated intimate images. S.L. 2024-37 (H591) amended G.S. 14-190.13 and the sexual-exploitation offenses to include material created, adapted, or modified by technological means (including AI) so an identifiable minor appears engaged in sexual activity, created sexual-extortion offenses at G.S. 14-202.7, and expanded the disclosure-of-private-images offense (G.S. 14-190.5A) to cover AI-generated depictions. --- # North Dakota ## North Dakota AI CSAM Amendments (HB 1386, 12.1-27.2) - **ID**: nd-hb-1386-ai-csam-amendments - **Jurisdiction**: North Dakota (state) - **State**: ND - **Status**: effective - **Strength**: limited - **Effective date**: 2025-08-01 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-16 - **Topics**: children, ai-images - **Enforcement agency**: North Dakota law enforcement and prosecutors; North Dakota courts. - **Penalties**: Felony.

It revised the definition of 'minor' so that it includes a computer-generated image that appears to depict a person under 18. This closes a gap for AI-generated or synthetic imagery, so possessing such material is prohibited even when no real child was depicted. HB 1386 amended N.D. Cent.

Information that law enforcement gathers using a robot is subject to the same evidentiary limits that already apply to information gathered by a drone. The law also bars law enforcement from using a robot or a drone to deploy a weapon or otherwise use force. HB 1613 amended N.D. Cent. Code ch. 29-29.4 (sections 29-29.4-01 through -06) to add 'robot' alongside unmanned aerial vehicles, extending the chapter's warrant/evidentiary restrictions to robot-gathered information and limiting law-enforcement weaponization via robot or drone. --- # NV ## Enacts provisions relating to artificial intelligence systems.

The law adds statutory definitions of 'artificial intelligence' and 'generative artificial intelligence' for this purpose. Public Chapter 911 (HB 2163, 113th G.A.) amends TCA Titles 39 and 40 so that 'material' in the sexual exploitation of children offenses includes computer-generated images created, adapted, or modified by artificial intelligence, and defines AI and generative AI. --- ## Tennessee Information Protection Act (TIPA) - **ID**: tn-tipa-47-18-3301 - **Jurisdiction**: Tennessee (state) - **State**: TN - **Status**: effective - **Strength**: limited - **Effective date**: 2025-07-01 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-16 - **Topics**: privacy, automated-decisions - **Enforcement agency**: Tennessee Attorney General and Reporter (exclusive enforcement). - **Private right of action**: no - **Penalties**: Civil penalties of up to $7,500 per violation, enforced solely by the Attorney General; willful or knowing violations may be subject to treble penalties.

Title 1 - **Source**: https://wapp.capitol.tn.gov/apps/BillInfo/Default.aspx?BillNumber=SB0837&GA=114 - **Confidence**: verified-official Tennessee amended its rules of statutory construction to make clear that artificial intelligence and related technology are not legal persons. The law specifies that the terms 'person,' 'life,' and 'natural person' do not include artificial intelligence, computer algorithms, software programs, computer hardware, or any type of machine. It also adds definitions of 'human being' and 'natural person' as living members of homo sapiens. The change is purely definitional and creates no penalty. Public Chapter 781 (SB 837, 114th G.A.) amends TCA Title 1 to define 'human being,' 'life,' and 'natural person' and to exclude AI, computer algorithms, software, hardware, and machines from 'person,' 'life,' and 'natural person.' --- # Texas ## Relating to Prosecution and Punishment of Certain Criminal Offenses Prohibiting Sexually Explicit Visual Material Involving Depictions of Children, Computer-Generated Children, or Other Persons (SB 1621) - **ID**: tx-sb-1621 - **Jurisdiction**: Texas (state) - **State**: TX - **Status**: effective - **Strength**: limited - **Effective date**: 2025-09-01 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-16 - **Topics**: children, ai-images, deepfakes - **Enforcement agency**: Texas county and district attorneys; Texas law enforcement (criminal prosecution). - **Private right of action**: no - **Penalties**: Felony offenses; offense level and penalty range vary with the type and quantity of material, with enhancements for prior convictions and for offenders in a position of authority over the depicted child. - **Citation**: Tex.

It separately defines a 'depiction of a child' and a 'depiction of a computer-generated child,' and extends the offenses of possessing, electronically transmitting, and promoting such material to cover AI-generated images. It also updates penalty ranges and adds enhanced punishment for repeat offenders and offenders in positions of authority. SB 1621 (89th Leg., R.S.) restructures the Texas Penal Code possession/promotion offenses for sexually explicit visual material involving children, adding distinct definitions for a 'depiction of a child' and a 'depiction of a computer-generated child' and adjusting offense levels and penalty ranges; offenses are felonies. --- ## Relating to Prosecution of Certain Criminal Offenses Prohibiting Sexually Explicit Visual Material Involving Children (HB 2700) - **ID**: tx-hb-2700 - **Jurisdiction**: Texas (state) - **State**: TX - **Status**: effective - **Strength**: limited - **Effective date**: 2023-09-01 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-16 - **Topics**: children, ai-images, deepfakes - **Enforcement agency**: Texas county and district attorneys; Texas law enforcement (criminal prosecution). - **Private right of action**: no - **Penalties**: No new penalty tier is created; conduct involving altered or AI-generated CSAM is prosecuted under the existing child-pornography offenses and their associated felony penalties. - **Citation**: Tex.

The point is to close a loophole: even if a sexual image of a child was fabricated or edited rather than photographed, it can still be prosecuted under existing child-pornography offenses. The existing criminal penalties for those offenses continue to apply. HB 2700 (88th Leg., R.S.) amends the Texas Penal Code provisions governing sexually explicit visual material involving children so that 'visual material' includes images created, adapted, or modified by computer software or generative AI that depict a recognizable real child, applying the existing offense and penalty framework. --- ## Relating to the Creation of Artificial Sexual Material Harmful to Minors (HB 581) - **ID**: tx-hb-581 - **Jurisdiction**: Texas (state) - **State**: TX - **Status**: effective - **Strength**: limited - **Effective date**: 2025-09-01 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-16 - **Topics**: children, ai-images, consumer-protection - **Enforcement agency**: Texas Attorney General (civil enforcement of the civil penalty). - **Private right of action**: no - **Penalties**: Civil penalty of up to $10,000 per day of violation, increasing to up to $250,000 if a minor accesses such material as a result of the violation; safe harbors apply for operators meeting specified terms-of-use and mitigation conditions. - **Citation**: Tex.

Operators must use reasonable age-verification methods to confirm users are at least 18, and must ensure that any real person used as the source of the generated material is also at least 18 and has consented to the use of their face and body. Operators that ignore these duties face civil penalties of up to $10,000 per day, rising to as much as $250,000 if a violation results in a minor accessing the material. The law includes safe-harbor protections for operators that adopt qualifying terms of use and take affirmative steps to limit such material. HB 581 (89th Leg., R.S.) requires a commercial entity operating a publicly available tool to create artificial sexual material harmful to minors to use reasonable age-verification methods to confirm users and source individuals are 18 or older and that source individuals consented, enforceable by civil penalties of up to $10,000 per day (up to $250,000 where a minor accesses material because of a violation). --- ## Relating to the Creation of the Criminal Offense of Possession, Promotion, or Production of Certain Obscene Visual Material Appearing to Depict a Child (SB 20) - **ID**: tx-sb-20 - **Jurisdiction**: Texas (state) - **State**: TX - **Status**: effective - **Strength**: limited - **Effective date**: 2025-09-01 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-16 - **Topics**: children, ai-images - **Enforcement agency**: Texas county and district attorneys; Texas law enforcement (criminal prosecution). - **Private right of action**: no - **Penalties**: State jail felony for a first offense; enhanced to a higher felony level for repeat offenders, escalating to a second-degree felony for a person with two or more prior convictions under the section. - **Citation**: Tex.

It applies whether the depiction is of a real child, a cartoon or animation, or an image generated by AI or other computer software. Using a real child's image to train an AI system to produce such material is also covered. Offenses are felonies, with higher penalties for repeat offenders. SB 20 (89th Leg., R.S.) creates a Penal Code offense for knowingly possessing, accessing with intent to view, promoting, or producing obscene visual material that appears to depict a child under 18 in sexual conduct regardless of whether the depiction is of a real child or is generated by AI or other software; a first offense is a state jail felony, escalating to a second-degree felony for offenders with two or more prior convictions. --- ## Relating to the Unlawful Production or Distribution of Sexually Explicit Videos Using Deep Fake Technology; Creating a Criminal Offense (SB 1361) - **ID**: tx-sb-1361 - **Jurisdiction**: Texas (state) - **State**: TX - **Status**: effective - **Strength**: limited - **Effective date**: 2023-09-01 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-16 - **Topics**: ncii, deepfakes, ai-images - **Enforcement agency**: Texas county and district attorneys; Texas law enforcement (criminal prosecution). - **Private right of action**: no - **Penalties**: Class A misdemeanor, generally punishable by up to one year in county jail and a fine of up to $4,000. - **Citation**: Tex.

S - **Source**: https://capitol.texas.gov/BillLookup/History.aspx?LegSess=89R&Bill=SB1964 - **Confidence**: verified-official Texas now requires state agencies to catalog the artificial intelligence systems they use and to give extra review to higher-risk systems that influence consequential decisions about people. The state's Department of Information Resources must publish a statewide AI code of ethics and set baseline rules for managing AI risk and governance, and agencies must run assessments on their highest-scrutiny systems. When a member of the public interacts with a government AI system, the agency has to tell them they are dealing with AI. If an agency or its vendor breaks these rules, the attorney general can go to court to stop the violation and can void a vendor's contract that caused it. S.B. 1964 (89th Leg., R.S.) adds Subchapter S (Secs. 2054.701 et seq.) to Chapter 2054 of the Texas Government Code, mandating agency AI inventories, heightened-scrutiny review and assessments, a DIR-issued statewide AI code of ethics and minimum risk-management/governance standards, consumer disclosure of AI interaction, and attorney-general enforcement via injunction and contract voiding. --- ## Texas HB 912 — Texas Privacy Act (Drone Surveillance) - **ID**: tx-hb-912-drone-privacy - **Jurisdiction**: Texas (state) - **State**: TX - **Status**: effective - **Strength**: moderate - **Effective date**: 2013-09-01 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-17 - **Topics**: privacy, law-enforcement, consumer-protection - **Enforcement agency**: Texas Department of Public Safety; private civil enforcement - **Private right of action**: yes - **Penalties**: Criminal misdemeanor ($500 first offense); civil damages of up to $10,000 per offense plus actual damages - **Citation**: Tex.

When a practitioner uses AI in that diagnostic role, they must tell the patient they are doing so. The attorney general can sue to stop violations and seek civil penalties, which increase sharply for knowing or intentional conduct and for misusing protected health information for financial gain. The broader law also adds security, access, and U.S. data-storage requirements for electronic health records. S.B. 1188 (89th Leg., R.S.) adds Chapter 183 to the Texas Health and Safety Code; Sec. 183.005 permits practitioner use of AI for diagnostic purposes subject to scope-of-license limits and mandatory patient disclosure, and Sec. 183.011 authorizes AG injunctive relief plus tiered civil penalties. --- ## Texas Senate Bill 2373 — Financial Exploitation or Abuse Using Artificially Generated Media or Phishing Communications - **ID**: tx-sb-2373-financial-abuse-ai-media - **Jurisdiction**: Texas (state) - **State**: TX - **Status**: effective - **Strength**: limited - **Effective date**: 2025-09-01 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-16 - **Topics**: deepfakes, consumer-protection - **Enforcement agency**: Texas Attorney General (civil penalties); local prosecutors (criminal offenses); private claimants (civil remedies) - **Private right of action**: yes - **Penalties**: Civil: actual damages including mental-anguish damages, the defendant's profits, court costs and attorney's fees, plus injunctive relief; a civil penalty of up to $1,000 for each day the media or communication was disseminated.

Victims can sue the wrongdoer and recover their actual losses, damages for mental anguish, the profits the wrongdoer earned, and their court costs and attorney's fees, and may seek an injunction. A separate civil penalty of up to $1,000 for each day the deceptive media or communication was circulated can be pursued. The same conduct can also be prosecuted criminally, with penalties scaling up to a first-degree felony based on the amount taken. S.B. 2373 (89th Leg., R.S.) creates Chapter 100B of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code (private remedies and a civil penalty up to $1,000/day under Secs. 100B.002-.003) and adds Penal Code Sec. 32.56, criminalizing financial abuse via artificially generated media or phishing communications. --- ## Texas Senate Bill 441 (89R, 2025) — Criminal and Civil Liability for Sexually Explicit and Artificial Intimate Visual Material - **ID**: tx-sb-441-ai-intimate-media - **Jurisdiction**: Texas (state) - **State**: TX - **Status**: effective - **Strength**: limited - **Effective date**: 2025-09-01 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-16 - **Topics**: ncii, ai-images, deepfakes, children, consumer-protection - **Enforcement agency**: Texas county/district prosecutors (criminal); private civil claimants via Chapter 98B; the Texas Attorney General may investigate and seek injunctive relief against repeat violators of the takedown/removal/notice duties (actionable as deceptive trade practices under the DTPA). - **Private right of action**: yes - **Penalties**: Criminal: producing or distributing nonconsensual deepfake intimate media is a Class A misdemeanor, rising to a third-degree felony for a prior conviction or where the person depicted is under 18; threatening to produce/distribute such media is a Class B misdemeanor, rising to Class A for a prior conviction or a depiction of a person under 18; restitution is required. Civil: depicted persons may recover damages from producers/distributors and from facilitating website, AI-app, and payment-processor owners; failure to remove within 72 hours, failure to provide the removal system, or failure to give required notice is an actionable deceptive trade practice with possible AG injunction, costs, and fees. - **Citation**: Tex.

Sept. 1, 2025 - **Source**: https://capitol.texas.gov/BillLookup/History.aspx?LegSess=89R&Bill=SB441 - **Confidence**: verified-official This Texas law makes it a crime to knowingly create or share, without consent, AI-generated or otherwise manipulated deepfake images that falsely depict a real person with computer-generated intimate parts or engaged in sexual conduct they never performed, and bans threatening to do so. It also lets victims sue the people who made or spread such artificial intimate visual material, and extends that liability to owners of websites, social platforms, AI 'nudification' apps, or payment systems that knowingly or recklessly facilitate the content. Covered websites and apps must offer an easy removal-request tool and can be liable if they fail to take material down within 72 hours of a depicted person's request. Victims may sue using a confidential identity and have up to 10 years to file. S.B. 441 (89R, 2025) amends Tex. Penal Code 21.165 (renamed 'Unlawful Production or Distribution of Certain Sexually Explicit Media'), adding offense subsections and penalty/defense provisions, and amends Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code ch. 98B (adding 98B.0021, 98B.0022 website/AI-app/payment-processor liability and 72-hour takedown, 98B.008 confidential identity, 98B.009 10-year limitations), effective Sept. 1, 2025. --- ## Texas Senate Bill 815 — Use of Automated Decision Systems for Adverse Determinations in Utilization Review - **ID**: tx-sb-815-automated-adverse-determination - **Jurisdiction**: Texas (state) - **State**: TX - **Status**: effective - **Strength**: limited - **Effective date**: 2025-09-01 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-16 - **Topics**: healthcare, insurance, automated-decisions - **Enforcement agency**: Texas Department of Insurance (insurance commissioner) - **Private right of action**: no - **Penalties**: Subject to the sanctions, cease-and-desist orders, and administrative penalties available under the Texas Insurance Code; the commissioner may audit and inspect a utilization review agent's use of an automated decision system at any time. - **Citation**: Tex. S.B. 815, 89th Leg., R.S. (2025); Tex. Ins. Code Sec. 4201.156 - **Source**: https://capitol.texas.gov/tlodocs/89R/analysis/html/SB00815F.htm - **Confidence**: verified-official Texas bars a utilization review agent from using an automated decision system — including certain artificial intelligence — to make an adverse determination, in whole or in part, about whether health care is medically necessary or appropriate. Such coverage denials must involve human clinical judgment, though the law still allows algorithms and AI for administrative support and fraud detection. The Texas Department of Insurance may audit and inspect how utilization review agents use these systems. Violations are subject to the sanctions, cease-and-desist orders, and administrative penalties already available under the Insurance Code. S.B. 815 (89th Leg., R.S.) adds Sec. 4201.156 to the Texas Insurance Code, prohibiting a utilization review agent from using an automated decision system to make, wholly or partly, an adverse determination, while preserving administrative/fraud uses and granting the commissioner audit authority; enforcement runs through existing Insurance Code remedies. --- # TX ## Texas Capture or Use of Biometric Identifier Act (Bus. & Com.

It also created the Office of AI Policy and a regulatory sandbox. Utah Code §§ 13-2-12, 13-72-101 et seq. (SB 149, eff. May 1, 2024) — (1) clarifies that the Utah Consumer Sales Practices Act and Deceptive Trade Practices Act fully apply to acts by GenAI; (2) requires affirmative disclosure of GenAI interaction in regulated occupations; (3) creates Office of AI Policy and Learning Laboratory. Amended by SB 226 (2025) to narrow scope to high-risk uses. --- ## Utah SB 149 — Artificial Intelligence Policy Act (SUPERSEDED) - **ID**: ut-sb-149-2024-superseded - **Jurisdiction**: UT (state) - **State**: UT - **Status**: repealed - **Strength**: unknown - **Effective date**: 2024-05-01 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-16 - **Topics**: consumer-protection, transparency - **Enforcement agency**: Utah Division of Consumer Protection - **Private right of action**: no - **Penalties**: Civil penalties under UCSPA - **Citation**: Utah SB 149 (2024) — substantially superseded by SB 226/SB 332 (2025) - **Source**: https://le.utah.gov/~2024/bills/static/SB0149.html - **Confidence**: historical Utah SB 149 was the first-in-nation generative AI disclosure statute (2024), establishing a regulatory sandbox and consumer disclosure requirements. Substantially rewritten and narrowed by SB 226 and SB 332 in 2025. SB 149 (2024) — required regulated occupations to disclose GenAI use to consumers in 'high-risk' interactions; created the AI Learning Lab regulatory sandbox; granted AG enforcement under UCSPA. Largely supplanted by 2025 SB 226 (narrower disclosure) and SB 332 (sandbox refinements). --- # Utah ## Utah Artificial Intelligence Policy Act (SB 149, as amended 2025) - **ID**: ut-sb-149-aipa - **Jurisdiction**: Utah (state) - **State**: UT - **Status**: effective - **Strength**: limited - **Effective date**: 2024-05-01 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-10 - **Topics**: consumer-protection, transparency, healthcare - **Enforcement agency**: Utah Division of Consumer Protection; Utah Attorney General - **Private right of action**: no - **Penalties**: Administrative fines up to $2,500 per violation; up to $5,000 per violation for breach of division orders - **Citation**: Utah Code § 13-72-101 et seq. (SB 149, 2024; amended 2025) - **Source**: https://le.utah.gov/~2024/bills/static/SB0149.html - **Confidence**: verified-official The first state generative-AI consumer law: businesses can't hide behind AI — they remain liable under consumer protection law for what their chatbots say. People in regulated occupations (like healthcare providers) must proactively disclose AI use in high-risk interactions, and any business must disclose AI use when clearly asked. Utah Code §§ 13-2-12, 13-72 (SB 149, eff. May 1, 2024), amended by SB 226 and SB 332 (eff. May 7, 2025): disclosure required on clear consumer request and for high-risk regulated-services interactions; safe harbor if the AI self-discloses; sunset extended to July 1, 2027. --- ## Utah H.B. 148 — Artificial Pornographic Images Amendments - **ID**: ut-hb-148-ai-csam-intimate-images - **Jurisdiction**: Utah (state) - **State**: UT - **Status**: effective - **Strength**: limited - **Effective date**: 2024-05-01 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-16 - **Topics**: children, ncii, ai-images - **Enforcement agency**: Utah prosecutors and law enforcement (criminal enforcement). - **Private right of action**: no - **Penalties**: No new penalty is created; the existing criminal penalties for sexual exploitation and intimate-image offenses apply under Title 76, Chapter 5b. - **Citation**: Utah Laws 2024, H.B. 148; Utah Code 76-5b-103, 76-5b-203, 76-5b-205 - **Source**: https://le.utah.gov/~2024/bills/hbillenr/HB0148.pdf - **Confidence**: verified-official Utah updated its Sexual Exploitation Act so that sexual-abuse and intimate-image offenses clearly cover synthetic or computer-generated imagery, not just camera-captured photos and video. The definitions of child sexual abuse material, 'intimate image,' and 'counterfeit intimate image' were each broadened to include computer or computer-generated images, pictures, and videos. As a result, AI-generated or otherwise fabricated explicit depictions can be prosecuted the same way as real images. H.B. 148 (2024) amends Utah Code 76-5b-103, 76-5b-203, and 76-5b-205 to insert 'computer or computer-generated image, picture, or video' into the definitions of child sexual abuse material, intimate image, and counterfeit intimate image; it adds no new penalty and relies on existing offense penalties. --- ## Utah H.B. 238 — Sexual Exploitation of a Minor Amendments - **ID**: ut-hb-238-ai-csam-minor - **Jurisdiction**: Utah (state) - **State**: UT - **Status**: effective - **Strength**: limited - **Effective date**: 2024-05-01 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-16 - **Topics**: children, ai-images - **Enforcement agency**: Utah prosecutors and law enforcement (criminal enforcement). - **Private right of action**: no - **Penalties**: No new penalty is created; existing criminal penalties for child sexual abuse material offenses apply (including the second-degree felony level for possession or viewing). - **Citation**: Utah Laws 2024, H.B. 238; Utah Code 76-5b-103(1)(b)(iii) - **Source**: https://le.utah.gov/~2024/bills/hbillint/HB0238.pdf - **Confidence**: verified-official Utah expanded its definition of child sexual abuse material to capture AI-generated content. The definition now reaches material that is artificially generated and depicts an individual with the substantial characteristics of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct. This closes a gap where fully synthetic imagery might otherwise escape the statute. H.B. 238 (2024) amends Utah Code 76-5b-103 to add subsection (1)(b)(iii), defining child sexual abuse material to include material 'artificially generated and depicts an individual with substantial characteristics of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct'; relies on existing Chapter 5b penalties. --- ## Utah HB 101 — Autonomous Vehicles and Connected Vehicles - **ID**: ut-hb-101-av - **Jurisdiction**: Utah (state) - **State**: UT - **Status**: effective - **Strength**: moderate - **Effective date**: 2019-05-14 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-17 - **Topics**: public-sector, consumer-protection, automated-decisions - **Enforcement agency**: Utah Department of Transportation; Utah Driver License Division; Utah Highway Patrol - **Private right of action**: no - **Penalties**: Traffic and registration penalties - **Citation**: Utah Code §§ 41-26-101 et seq. - **Source**: https://le.utah.gov/~2019/bills/static/HB0101.html - **Confidence**: verified-official Utah's AV law expressly allows fully driverless operation, treats the automated driving system as the 'driver' for traffic-law purposes, authorizes commercial AV networks, and preempts local AV regulation.

Utah Code §§ 65A-3-2.5, 76-6-2410, added/amended by HB 217 of 2017; predecessor SB 167 (2016) authorized neutralization of wildfire-area drones. --- ## Utah HB 452: Mental Health Chatbot Protections - **ID**: ut-hb-452-mental-health-chatbots - **Jurisdiction**: Utah (state) - **State**: UT - **Status**: effective - **Strength**: limited - **Effective date**: 2025-05-07 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-10 - **Topics**: healthcare, consumer-protection, privacy, transparency - **Enforcement agency**: Utah Division of Consumer Protection - **Private right of action**: no - **Penalties**: Administrative fines up to $2,500 per violation; injunctive relief and disgorgement - **Citation**: Utah Code § 13-2c-101 et seq. (HB 452, 2025) - **Source**: https://le.utah.gov/~2025/bills/static/HB0452.html - **Confidence**: verified-official Utah regulates AI chatbots that act like therapists: suppliers must clearly disclose the chatbot is not human, may not advertise products mid-conversation without disclosure, and may not sell or share users' individually identifiable health information. Utah Code ch. 13-2c (HB 452, 2025, eff. May 7, 2025) imposes disclosure, advertising-restriction, and health-data protections on suppliers of 'mental health chatbots' using generative AI, with an affirmative defense for filed best-practice policies. --- ## Utah House Bill 273 — Classroom Technology Amendments - **ID**: ut-hb-273-classroom-ai - **Jurisdiction**: Utah (state) - **State**: UT - **Status**: enacted - **Strength**: limited - **Effective date**: 2026-07-01 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-16 - **Topics**: education, public-sector - **Enforcement agency**: Utah State Board of Education. - **Private right of action**: no - **Penalties**: The State Board may withhold or delay digital-literacy, computer-science, and educational-technology program funds (Section 53F-2-510) from a noncompliant LEA until it complies. - **Citation**: Utah Code 53E-4-202, 53G-7-228 to -229, 53G-7-1401 to -1403 (H.B. 273, 2026) - **Source**: https://le.utah.gov/Session/2026/bills/enrolled/HB0273.pdf - **Confidence**: verified-official Utah requires the State Board of Education to add AI to its core computer science standards and publish a model policy on classroom AI use, and every local education agency must adopt an AI-use policy based on that model. The model policy bars AI from independently grading work or making high-stakes student decisions, requires written notice to parents when instruction uses generative AI, and prohibits uses like biometric surveillance. An LEA that fails to adopt the required policies risks losing certain state funding. Amends Utah Code 53E-4-202 (AI in core CS standards) and enacts 53G-7-228, -229, and 53G-7-1401 to -1403, requiring a State Board model AI-use policy and conforming LEA policies, with authority to withhold 53F-2-510 funds from noncompliant LEAs. --- ## Utah House Bill 276 — Artificial Intelligence Modifications (Digital Content Provenance Standards Act) - **ID**: ut-hb-276-provenance - **Jurisdiction**: Utah (state) - **State**: UT - **Status**: enacted - **Strength**: limited - **Effective date**: 2027-01-01 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-16 - **Topics**: transparency, ai-images, public-sector - **Enforcement agency**: Utah Division of Consumer Protection; Attorney General for civil penalty actions. - **Private right of action**: no - **Penalties**: Administrative fines up to $2,500 per violation, injunctive relief and disgorgement, and up to $5,000 per violation of an administrative or court order. - **Citation**: Utah Code 13-72c-101 to -301, 63A-16-215 (H.B. 276, 2026) - **Source**: https://le.utah.gov/Session/2026/bills/enrolled/HB0276.pdf - **Confidence**: verified-official This part of Utah's AI Modifications law requires large generative-AI providers to embed a hidden (latent) disclosure in AI-generated or substantially AI-altered image, audio, and video content. Large online platforms must detect provenance data, let users inspect it, and must not strip compliant provenance or digital signatures. From January 1, 2028, capture-device makers must embed a latent disclosure by default. The law also directs the state CIO to set provenance standards for digital content on public-facing state-agency webpages. Enacts Utah Code Title 13 Chapter 72c (Digital Content Provenance Standards Act): 13-72c-201 (platform detection/disclosure/anti-stripping), 13-72c-202 (capture-device latent disclosure from 2028), 13-72c-203 (covered-provider latent disclosure; 1,000,000+ monthly users), and 63A-16-215 (state CIO webpage provenance); enforced by the Division of Consumer Protection under 13-72c-301. --- ## Utah House Bill 276 — Artificial Intelligence Modifications (Digital Voyeurism Prevention Act) - **ID**: ut-hb-276-voyeurism - **Jurisdiction**: Utah (state) - **State**: UT - **Status**: enacted - **Strength**: limited - **Effective date**: 2027-01-01 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-16 - **Topics**: ncii, ai-images - **Enforcement agency**: Private civil litigation in Utah courts. - **Private right of action**: yes - **Penalties**: Private right of action with injunctive relief and image destruction; actual damages (including emotional distress), punitive damages for willful violations, and attorney fees; each distribution or post-notice failure is a separate violation. - **Citation**: Utah Code 13-72b-101 to -401 (H.B. 276, 2026) - **Source**: https://le.utah.gov/Session/2026/bills/enrolled/HB0276.pdf - **Confidence**: verified-official This part of Utah's AI Modifications law targets AI-generated counterfeit intimate images. An online 'generation service' that lets users create images and then distributes a counterfeit intimate image of an identifiable person without consent violates that person's privacy. Generation services must warn users and get a safe harbor with a written policy and safeguards. Platforms that host content may not knowingly allow distribution of nonconsensual counterfeit intimate images and must run notice-and-takedown procedures aligned with the federal Take It Down Act (48-hour removal). Victims can sue for injunctions, actual and punitive damages, and attorney fees. Enacts Utah Code Title 13 Chapter 72b (Digital Voyeurism Prevention Act): 13-72b-201 (generation-service consent duty), 13-72b-202 (private action; actual + emotional-distress + punitive damages, fees), 13-72b-203 (safe harbor), 13-72b-301 to -304 (covered-platform duty, 48-hour Take It Down Act-aligned takedown, liability, safe harbor). --- ## Utah S.B. 131 — Information Technology Act Amendments (Synthetic Media in Political Ads) - **ID**: ut-sb-131-ai-election-synthetic-media - **Jurisdiction**: Utah (state) - **State**: UT - **Status**: effective - **Strength**: limited - **Effective date**: 2024-05-01 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-16 - **Topics**: deepfakes, elections, transparency - **Enforcement agency**: Enforced through private civil actions; courts impose the penalty. - **Private right of action**: yes - **Penalties**: A court may impose a civil penalty of up to $1,000 for each violation in a civil action against the creator or sponsor. - **Citation**: Utah Laws 2024, S.B. 131; Utah Code 20A-11-1104, 76-3-203.18 - **Source**: https://le.utah.gov/~2024/bills/sbillenr/SB0131.pdf - **Confidence**: verified-official Utah requires political audio and video communications that contain AI-generated 'synthetic media' to carry a clear disclosure that the content was made with AI. The rule covers paid communications meant to influence voting for or against a candidate or ballot proposition, and specifies the exact disclosure wording for audio, image, and video. A person can sue the creator or sponsor, and a court may impose a civil penalty of up to $1,000 per violation. S.B. 131 (2024) enacts Utah Code 20A-11-1104, requiring disclosures on paid audio/visual election communications that contain generative-AI 'synthetic media,' enforceable through a private civil action with a civil penalty of up to $1,000 per violation; a companion section (76-3-203.18) makes AI use a sentencing aggravator. --- ## Utah S.B. 180 — Law Enforcement Usage of Artificial Intelligence - **ID**: ut-sb-180-le-ai-usage - **Jurisdiction**: Utah (state) - **State**: UT - **Status**: effective - **Strength**: limited - **Effective date**: 2025-05-07 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-16 - **Topics**: law-enforcement, public-sector, transparency - **Enforcement agency**: Internal to each law enforcement agency (administrative discipline for policy violations). - **Private right of action**: no - **Penalties**: None specified; a policy violation may result in administrative disciplinary action by the agency head. - **Citation**: Utah Laws 2025, S.B. 180; Utah Code 53-25-601, 53-25-602 - **Source**: https://le.utah.gov/Session/2025/bills/enrolled/SB0180.pdf - **Confidence**: verified-official Utah requires every law enforcement agency to adopt a written policy governing employee use of generative AI. Any police report or law enforcement record created wholly or partly with generative AI must contain a disclaimer that it includes AI-generated content, and the author must certify they personally read and reviewed it for accuracy. S.B. 180 (2025) enacts Utah Code 53-25-601 and 53-25-602, requiring each law enforcement agency to maintain a generative-AI use policy and requiring AI-assisted police reports/records to carry an AI-content disclaimer plus the author's accuracy certification; no statutory penalty is specified. --- ## Utah S.B. 226 — Artificial Intelligence Consumer Protection Amendments - **ID**: ut-sb-226-ai-consumer-protection - **Jurisdiction**: Utah (state) - **State**: UT - **Status**: effective - **Strength**: limited - **Effective date**: 2025-05-07 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-16 - **Topics**: consumer-protection, transparency, healthcare - **Enforcement agency**: Utah Division of Consumer Protection. - **Private right of action**: no - **Penalties**: Administrative or court fines up to $2,500 per violation, and up to $5,000 per violation of an order. - **Citation**: Utah Laws 2025, S.B. 226; Utah Code 13-75-101 to 13-75-106 - **Source**: https://le.utah.gov/Session/2025/bills/enrolled/SB0226.pdf - **Confidence**: verified-official Utah requires businesses using generative AI in consumer interactions to come clean about it. If a consumer clearly asks whether they are dealing with AI, a supplier must disclose they are interacting with generative AI and not a human. People in licensed occupations must prominently disclose AI use up front in 'high-risk' interactions (health, financial, legal, mental-health advice or sensitive data). A safe harbor applies for clear self-identification, and it is no defense that the AI made the offending statement. S.B. 226 (2025) enacts Utah Code 13-75-101 to 13-75-106: disclosure on a consumer's request, prominent up-front disclosure by regulated-occupation licensees in 'high-risk' interactions, a self-identification safe harbor, a bar on an 'AI made me do it' defense, and Division of Consumer Protection fines up to $2,500 per violation and $5,000 per order violation. --- ## Utah S.B. 271 — Unauthorized Artificial Intelligence Impersonation Amendments - **ID**: ut-sb-271-ai-impersonation - **Jurisdiction**: Utah (state) - **State**: UT - **Status**: effective - **Strength**: moderate - **Effective date**: 2025-05-07 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-16 - **Topics**: deepfakes, ai-images - **Enforcement agency**: Private civil actions (no designated administrative agency). - **Private right of action**: yes - **Penalties**: Private right of action: injunctive relief, damages, exemplary damages, and reasonable attorney fees and costs. - **Citation**: Utah Laws 2025, S.B. 271; Utah Code 45-3-2 to 45-3-7 - **Source**: https://le.utah.gov/Session/2025/bills/enrolled/SB0271.pdf - **Confidence**: verified-official Utah broadened its abuse-of-personal-identity law to cover AI-generated and other artificial recreations of a person's identity. 'Personal identity' now includes a person's video likeness, voice, and audiovisual appearance, plus any simulation or artificial recreation made through generative AI, computer animation, or digital manipulation. It is unlawful to use someone's personal identity this way for commercial purposes without consent, and to knowingly distribute, sell, or license technology whose primary purpose is unauthorized identity-content creation. Exemptions cover news, art, and parody. S.B. 271 (2025) amends Utah Code 45-3-2 to expand 'personal identity' to include video likeness, voice, and audiovisual appearance plus AI/computer simulations, amends 45-3-3 to treat unauthorized commercial use and distribution of identity-faking technology as abuse, adds exemptions at 45-3-7, and preserves a private right of action (45-3-4, 45-3-5) for injunctive relief, damages, exemplary damages, and attorney fees. --- ## Utah Senate Bill 256 — Identity Protection Modifications - **ID**: ut-sb-256-ai-defamation - **Jurisdiction**: Utah (state) - **State**: UT - **Status**: effective - **Strength**: limited - **Effective date**: 2026-05-06 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-16 - **Topics**: deepfakes, consumer-protection - **Enforcement agency**: None (private civil litigation in Utah courts). - **Private right of action**: yes - **Penalties**: Pre-existing libel and slander remedies; if the publisher removes content within 10 days of notice, recovery is limited to actual damages. - **Citation**: Utah Code 45-2-3.5, 45-2-14 (S.B. 256, 2026 Gen.

The prohibition explicitly reaches denials carried out through automation, computer code, algorithms, or AI. A harmed person can sue for statutory and declaratory relief plus actual and punitive damages, and a court can revoke the issuer's authorization to do business in Utah. Enacts Utah Code 70A-9a-902 (programmable-money issuers may not deny transactions based on enumerated protected traits/lawful conduct or social-credit scoring; 70A-9a-902(2)(b) extends this to denials caused by computer code, algorithms, or AI) and 70A-9a-903 (remedies: statutory/declaratory relief, actual and punitive damages, attorney fees, and possible revocation of authorization). --- ## Utah Senate Bill 319 — Health Insurance Preauthorization Amendments - **ID**: ut-sb-319-prior-auth-ai-disclosure - **Jurisdiction**: Utah (state) - **State**: UT - **Status**: enacted - **Strength**: limited - **Effective date**: 2027-01-01 - **Last verified**: 2026-06-16 - **Topics**: healthcare, insurance, transparency - **Enforcement agency**: Utah Insurance Department. - **Private right of action**: no - **Penalties**: Enforced through the Department's existing authority over prior-authorization requirements; no new standalone penalty for the AI-disclosure provision. - **Citation**: Utah Code 31A-22-650(2)(d), (3) (S.B. 319, 2026) - **Source**: https://le.utah.gov/Session/2026/bills/enrolled/SB0319.pdf - **Confidence**: verified-official Utah requires health insurers that use AI in reviewing prior-authorization requests to be transparent about it.
